Heron Marinor Review: Unscratchable?!

[@heronwatchco.6870]

Thank you for taking your time with the watch Marc, always a pleasure to work with a fellow Montrealer!

@@heronwatchco.6870 it’s been an absolute pleasure. You’re a class act. I think the future is very bright for Heron Watches.

It's very cool. Bravo.

[@automaticreviews6999]

@@doobeedoo2 glad you liked it. Great watch.

Thanks for the review! I very much like the colors and the Blancpain-inspired design. It looks like this is one of the few colorways still currently available on the Heron site. It would be interesting to see a comparison between this watch and another hardened-steel dressy diver, the slightly higher priced Traska Freediver.

@@jaydub9509 thanks for the thoughtful comment! Yes that colorway is still available. I’ve actually been actively trying to talk myself out of grabbing one LOL. Wearing a scratchproof watch for a week really sells it to you. I’d love to get ahold of a hardened Traska or Sinn or compare the experience. I hope I can get a review unit! I wish more companies would use this technology. It’s a game changer.

I got a couple friends into watches; I let them know about your channel in case they're interested.

I love micro-adjusts and the blue looks SO nice!!!

[@automaticreviews6999]

Yeah, fully agree. Amazing blue.

[@henry605]

Wow, seems very interesting.

[@automaticreviews6999]

I really enjoyed my time with it. Thanks for commenting!

[@SilverStackers]

is the case hardened also??

[@automaticreviews6999]

@@SilverStackers while I didn’t test it with the screwdriver, the website lists the whole watch as hardened steel, and the case had no micro scratching despite being a review unit that had been passed around. Seems just as tough as the bracelet. Thanks for watching!

the low for me is that is kinda boring

[@automaticreviews6999]

@@MrVitamincpp when I started the review that was definitely something I considered. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, but because I’ve seen and owned similar Blancpain inspired watches. That said, after some time with it, it grew on me. It has a little visual distinction with that flat bracelet, the colour, the quirky 12 marker etc, but I have to say that the scratch resistance added to the excitement for me, also. I found myself feeling like the watch was invincible. Totally unique experience for me. I think Sinn fans have experienced this also, but it was a first for me.
